About: Grew up with Dobermans, Dachshunds, and Springer Spaniels. Also cats and birds. In high school I pet sat for a neighbor who had more exotic pets (skunks, tortoise, fruit bats, and pea fowl. I have both house and pet sat for friends and their family members repeatedly. Love chill dogs. I work from home the majority of the time. Will try to not schedule service if I need to go into the office for work. I have a fenced in the yard. Housemate has a verify friendly energetic Brittany Spaniel. I can keep dogs separate if you prefer me to.
“Melissa was wonderful with our cat! So happy that she was available to take care of him for the week. The pictures were adorable and it’s clear that he enjoyed her company and the attention she gave him. Our house was in good order when we arrived home as well. Highly recommend Melissa!”
“Nicole is an amazing cat sitter! I booked her for the drop ins. She is responsive, always on time, and accommodates to you and your pets needs. She also sends plenty of pictures of your pets while she is taking care of them! Would highly recommend!”
About: I have dog sat for both family and friends, as well as taken care of my own dogs when I still had them. I love and and all dogs! While school is still happening, I will be available on weekends and during the summer, available during the the day on the weekdays as well! I am a stickler on caring for your pet the way I would want mine taken care of! We can go for walks, spend time in the backyard or house. If you need your dogs crated when I leave, I am happy to do so as well.
“Melika is extremely attentive, responsive and very sweet to my Hank! Sends great photos and videos of my boy. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in high school, so I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve always genuinely loved being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and of course giving plenty of attention and cuddles! I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention and cuddles. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have lots of company and I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate their normal routine and needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy plenty of outdoor time, play, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and daily routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while they’re away from home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles!
“Hayleigh came out to meet our dogs before a house sitting booking and spent time becoming familiar with them and their routines. Hayleigh has a calming presence and I know our dogs will enjoy their time together.”
“I’m always grateful for Dina. She’s quick with her replies, always on time, and my 4 month old puppy Figgy loves her. She also takes the best pictures when she hangs with my girly.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a young teenager and have always had a huge love for animals of all kinds. While I’ve personally always had dogs, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, friends, family, and others have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following specific care instructions, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love! I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I’m happy to provide plenty of updates and photos while they’re in my care. I work four days a week and have opened up my days off specifically for pet sitting! I have open availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. This gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Very friendly family, and they loved my puppy. The son exhausted my puppy perfectly. I got plenty of pictures and updates and great communication! Tracie & Whitney were awesome.”
About: I grew up in a pet loving home, where at any given time we had at least two cats and one dog living under our roof. As young as 12 years old, I was entrusted by neighbors to pet sit, and I took part in caring for and training my own family pets. I now have 4 cats and a dog of my own, and I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would for my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer, however my schedule is very unstructured, so it changes from week to week. Usually however, I’m only working 2-3 days a week, which leaves my schedule wide open to spend my days with your fur babies! I am unable to care for any additional animals in my own home, however I would be more than happy to watch your babies in your home! I would ensure your home was treated with respect and would do my part in keeping it clean. I’d be able to crate your pups if desired, as well as clean litter boxes, as well as any other care-taking tasks required.
About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.
“Fern is awesome. I work shift work so I can be gone 24-48 hours at a time. She has been there last minute for my two German shepherds. Communicates clearly and my dogs love spending time with her. She’s awesome!”

Evelyn is an exceptional pet sitter! She is responsible, dependable, and clearly cared deeply for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. One of our pets is a 9week old puppy. I would absolutely recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
I had a great experience with Lisa and highly recommend her! From the start, she was communicative, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. I gave her a long list of info about my pups and she welcomed the details. Her confident attitude and understanding, gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She provided pics and all went well! It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur babies, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
We've used Alyssia several times now and will absolutely continue requesting her! She stopped by for a drop-in visit to let our pups out for a quick potty break, feed them dinner, and give them their medications, and she handled everything perfectly. She even went the extra mile by washing their dishes and rinsing out the canned food container so I could just toss it straight into the recycling bin. That kind of thoughtfulness really means a lot! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands while we were out. Alyssia is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Frannie was amazing with my 2 dogs! One is very boisterous, the other is very cautious of people. Frannie was very calm, patient, and soft spoken with my cautious one. In minutes, Frannie won her over and she was asking for pets from her. Frannie also stayed the entire time that I booked her, she did everything that was asked of her and more. Will be booking with her again
First time using Rover and I was very happy with the services provided by Siria. She was flexible, prompt and super loving to my two 7mth old Labrador brothers. They are a handful at 70lbs each and she was great. I will definitely seek her help when I need a sitter again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manassas choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
